Whether you're new to OCR, or already offer our qualifications, you might find our admin overview useful. This outlines the main administration processes for our Cambridge Technical (2016 suite) qualifications, and will guide you to the relevant, detailed information on our website.

1. Get approved

The first step to offering Cambridge Technicals is to become an approved centre. For this, you'll need to complete the vocational centre approval form.

You need approval for each suite of qualifications (e.g. IT or Media) and you can only enter candidates for the qualifications you are approved to offer.

If you’re already approved to offer external examinations through JCQ (or from a previous OCR inspection) and are currently approved for a subject in the 2012 suite, you'll receive approval within five working days.

2. Apply for access arrangements

Your Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCO) may need to apply for access arrangements.

These are made before an exam series to enable candidates with particular requirements to demonstrate attainment.
